What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?
My education and work experience definitely qualify me for Washington state Legislative Representative. My background entails all facets of law as well as proven ability of trustworthiness and follow through in tough situations. If I say or go to bat for someone I will definitely try my hardest for you. I do not balk because of party politics, I will stand for the people and issues immediately important to them.

Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?
Along with Paralegal experience I also worked for the schools. I began my work career at the age of twelve. I’m used to hard work and not afraid. I’ve picked weeds around a race track, thinned apples, hauled wood, food service, secretarial, cage cashier, Security literally a jack of all trades, finished college and immediately wanted to help people so went into Paralegal/Spokesman, and politics. I truly still believe in democracy if we can focus on the issues versus party platfoms. I believe if we stop jockeying for power we can take care of our people.
